Moab in the Inner Night
Isaiah 15:1-2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Isaiah 15 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The text describes Moab’s ruin by night and silence, with leaders going up to high places to mourn. It also uses stark signs—baldness and shaved beards—as images of collective desolation.
Neville's Inner Vision
Moab is not a distant country here but a state of consciousness you entertain. The burden of Moab is a persistent thought or self-image you consent to; the night that lays waste is the moment you forget who you are as the I AM. When Ar and Kir of Moab are laid waste, your ordinary supports—stories of limitation, roars of fear—are silenced by the inner light. The ascent to Bajith and Dibon, the high places, is the mind’s climb to cherished beliefs about yourself, where you weep over Nebo and Medeba as you cling to old identities. The imagery of bald heads and cut-off beards marks the stripping away of outward appearances, the removal of the masks you wear. Yet beneath the desolation the I AM remains, not destroyed but revealed. You are asked to treat the scene as a dream, to revise it by declaring that you are the witness, the aware I AM in the room. In this Neville practice, desolation becomes the soil from which a new pattern of being grows, and the night is simply the invitation to awaken to your indestructible consciousness.
Practice This Now
Sit quietly and assume the I AM presence. Declare, 'I AM fullness now,' and feel the image of lack dissolve.
